Arrests in Chicago plummet to historic lows as crime rises and police admittedly pull back: ‘No way’ – FOX News

The decline in arrests comes after sweeping changes were made to how the Chicago P.D. patrols the streets, including restricting their vehicle pursuit policy, ending foot pursuits if a suspect runs from an officer or if someone commits a minor offense. One police officer said that some officers hesitate interacting with "criminals with guns" due to prosecutors having a tighter grip on approving felony charges against criminals.

Am I the only one who notices that if a young black man is shot by police the media has endless TV loops about the incident but if someone who is white and gets shot gets a quick sound byte and not much press unless it involves a mass shooting? Seems like those in charge of the media are somewhat complicit with trying to start a race war. Deaths should be treated equally regardless of race but if you are black you get more coverage more bad than good. Maybe it’s just me noticing.

Off-duty cop shot in back by a black man who was with two other black men. Reverse the races and it would be non-stop media coverage, maybe a looting or two thrown in.
